Chapter 159: Reversal of the Battle Situation, Rapid Conversion of Power
The terrifying fluctuation swept across, spreading to the entire Sky Island in an instant. The ground was shredded like debris, and a thick layer of earth was shaved off by the shockwave.
The Sky Island shook more violently than ever.
The Haki fluctuations of the two still hadn't weakened. On the contrary, they intensified. The airwaves became more violent, and even the ships floating in midair seemed about to be blown away. If Shiki hadn't activated his fruit ability to stabilize them immediately, they would have been blown hundreds of meters away.
As for the two combatants, the violent fluctuations caused the light around them to distort. Terrifying roars continued to erupt, making spectators want to cover their ears.
After lasting for more than ten seconds, the fluctuation finally weakened. When the raging wind dissipated, the picture that came into view made countless pirates drop their jaws.
They stared dumbfounded at the island. The ground of the sizeable Sky Island was completely different from before. All the large and small potholes had been swept away; the whole island had been peeled like an onion! It even looked smooth and polished.
Where Yuichi and Kaido stood, a huge crater had appeared under their feet. The two stood at opposite ends of the crater, staring at each other. Their gazes collided in the air, seemingly bursting with sparks. A strong aura lingered on them, setting off a wave of turmoil.
Kaido! And the Beasts Pirates under his command!
Previously, Kaido's subordinates—the Three Disasters—didn't pay much attention to Yuichi. A mere Marine Admiral-level guy was simply impossible to be their boss's opponent.
But now!
Jack the Drought, Queen the Plague, King the Wildfire... they were floored!
Their expressions were extremely exaggerated, and strong shock filled their eyes as they stared firmly at Yuichi.
Jack: "That's..."
Queen: "Conqueror's Haki Coating..."
King: "How could this guy master such a skill!"
He fought head-on with Master Kaido and was not at a disadvantage at all. On the contrary, it became a stalemate.
This! How can that be!
Although Shanks and Big Mom were surprised, they immediately began to think about the implications. Was this why Whitebeard allowed this guy to be the fifth side of the alliance? Even if the current Yuichi was inferior to the Four Emperors in terms of overall strength, it would be a matter of time before he caught up.
Possessing Conqueror's Haki, training Armament Haki to this level, and mastering Conqueror's Coating... Such a person would sooner or later become like them. So, Yuichi qualified as a fifth-party force.
However, the two were wrong. Although Whitebeard knew that Yuichi had learned Conqueror's Haki, he didn't think that Yuichi, who had just learned this skill, could compete with Kaido on equal terms so soon. Now, he was surprised too.
Only he and the commanders of the Whitebeard Pirates knew how much time it had taken. In such a short period, Yuichi was able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Kaido.
Whitebeard's cheek twitched. Marines... you let go of a terrifying monster!
Now he was a little thankful to the Marines and World Government; because they coveted the Tailed Beast power within this kid, they forced him out of the Navy. Otherwise, this guy would definitely be a nightmare for pirates in the future.
At this moment, Kaido looked at Yuichi with a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I didn't expect..."
"You actually mastered the use of Conqueror's Coating. That surprised me!"
Kaido's face became ugly. Yuichi did give him a big surprise this time. But, looking at Yuichi's calm appearance, it seemed the boy thought that mastering Conqueror's Haki meant he could defeat Kaido.
"Fine! Now I'm going to get serious!"
Kaido sneered. The veins on his arm suddenly bulged, covered by Armament Haki.
A stick fell directly toward Yuichi's head. The ground shook suddenly. Then, Kaido raised the mace, but there was nothing there except for a new pothole. Yuichi's figure had long since disappeared.
At this time, behind Kaido, the Zanpakutō in Yuichi's hand released a black light. The moment the blade flashed, a slash infused with strong Haki erupted instantly.
Shua~~~
The slash struck from behind. Kaido quickly turned around and swung the mace to resist.
Boom boom boom!!
The fight continued, but this time it wasn't Kaido pinning Yuichi down. The situation on the scene had evolved.
Yuichi's weird speed completely overwhelmed Kaido. He constantly changed positions while bursting out amazing attacks.
A surprising picture appeared.
The Four Emperors. The Emperors who reign over the sea. One of the supreme rulers of the New World. Captain of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido. The man known as the Strongest Creature was actually being suppressed!
Overwhelmed by a former Marine.
It took Kaido a lot of effort to block every slash, and Yuichi's speed left Kaido with no openings. He wanted to fight back, but without any gaps, he couldn't catch Yuichi. Yet, Yuichi didn't stay close, always keeping a certain distance, forcing Kaido to passively defend.
"Master Kaido... was suppressed?"
The people of the Beasts Pirates couldn't believe it. The crew members of the Red Hair Pirates were also confused. "Why did the situation suddenly reverse? Is this guy really so strong?"
The members of the Big Mom Pirates lamented, "This is Kaido! How can he be suppressed? What kind of monster is this Marine traitor?"
Among the Emperor crews, only the Whitebeard Pirates could accept Yuichi's amazing performance easily; after all, their Pops admired him.
Just when everyone was shouting in disbelief at the sudden change, the smile on Yuichi's face grew stronger.
The method of using Furyoku to convert other powers is getting more proficient!
Chakra and Haki converted to Reiatsu!
Shunpo launch!!!
Reiatsu and Haki converted to Haki!
The slash erupted instantly.
The conversion of various powers was becoming faster as Yuichi became more proficient in using his Shamanic abilities. The time lag was getting shorter and shorter. Yuichi's figure flickered faster, and attacks like a storm fell on Kaido's head crazily.
Boom boom boom!!
Kaido kept waving the mace, resisting Yuichi's attacks again and again. He was getting very impatient.
"Damn it, kid... do you dare to fight me head-to-head again?"
Bass~!
The sword flashed. In the wind, the direction of Yuichi's movement suddenly changed.
Zanpakutō, half unsheathed, looked up. "As you wish."
